The 9 Best Vegan Passover Recipes

Passover—the one evening a year Jews get to bust out the Haggadah and Seder-specific plates for a three-hour meal that traditionally requires all participants drink four glasses of kosher wine. Whether you’re the host, a guest, or the guest of a guest, veganizing your seder meal is surprisingly easy thanks to rabbi-approved swaps—roasted beets can be used in place of lamb shanks, and a small boiled potato or avocado is a convincing stand-in for a hard-boiled egg. But to really wow your omnivorous family, in-laws, and friends, try your hand at veganizing kosher, leaven-free classics like gefilte fish, and matzoh ball soup—or make lasagna out of matzah. Happy Passover!

This traditional dish has been passed down through the generations and is a staple at family Passover meals, but this easily veganized version by Isa Chandra Moskowitz is sure to be the new family favorite, starting a new tradition of cruelty-free eating.
